Saving Our Nation
from Fiscal Disaster




For far too long, Congress has
relied on 11th hour stop gap measures to temporarily fund the
government before the holidays that are chock full of wasteful
spending that increases our national debt.

Instead of repeating Washington's
cycle of fiscal failures, I voted to fund the government through
January 19, 2023, to ensure military families continue getting
paychecks through the holiday season and our national parks, that
Wyoming's economy relies on, remain open.

During the next few months,
Congress must work to craft fiscally responsible appropriations
bills that cut government spending and get our economy back on
track.

Finding government waste to cut
is not difficult. Our bloated federal government is loaded with
it.

To start, the FBI does not need a
$4 billion new headquarters when it has already have a perfectly
good one. Next, we need to examine the State Department where
$49,810 was spent to train 40 Nigerian journalists to spot
misinformation and $21,050 was spent to train 60 Yemeni artists
how to start their own podcast. While I am not sure which expense
is a bigger waste of money, one thing is clear - we need to
examine the federal budget from top to bottom and make sure
Wyoming tax dollars are not being wasted on woke nonsense and
burdensome big government regulations.

Washington's spending addiction
needs to be treated like the crisis it is because if our nation
continues on the current trajectory, the national debt will
surpass $1.5 quadrillion (yes that is a real number, it is $1,500
trillion) in the next 60 years. While it may be hard to wrap your
head around the idea of $1.5 quadrillion, what is clear to me is
that we cannot leave our grandchildren and future generations in
Wyoming with the burden of paying for our generation's reckless
spending.

My top priority as Congress works
to pass the 12 appropriations bills is to get Washington to stop
spending money we do not have and enact real fiscal reforms that
save our nation from fiscal disaster.


Happy Trails,









Senator Lummis' Week in Pictures






We must give our full and
unequivocal support to the state of Israel as it continues its
righteous war against the evil and barbaric Hamas terrorists. I
joined several of my Republican colleagues this week in calling
for the Senate to take up and pass the bipartisan Israel aid
package that will give Israel the support it needs to execute the
mission.

Legislative Actions:


I joined U.S.
Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) in sending a letter to U.S. Secretary of
Defense Lloyd Austin denouncing the department's policy of using
taxpayer dollars to pay for travel expenses for service members
and dependents seeking abortions.

The Biden
administration's blatant politicization of the military by using
Wyoming taxpayers' money to fund abortions is wrong and needs to
end now.



Committee Hearings:

During a Senate
Banking Committee hearing, I questioned Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) Chairman Martin Gruenberg about a Wall Street
Journal report that highlighted a toxic work environment,
pervasive sexual harassment and unacceptable behavior by
employees in the workplace. Click here to watch my remarks and
questions.
I emphasized the
importance of backing state-level collaborative efforts to
restore migration corridors rather than introducing blanket
federal regulations that could do more harm than good in states
like Wyoming during an Environmental and Public Works
Subcommittee on Fisheries, Water and Wildlife hearing titled,
"Challenges and Opportunities to Facilitate Wildlife Movement and
Improve Migration Corridors." Click here to watch my remarks.

IN WYOMING



Working for Wyoming:
Wyoming's remote
nature is one of the best features of our state, however it does
come with some unique challenges to certain aspects of life.
Access to quality health care in rural areas, like much of
Wyoming, is a particularly acute problem that requires creative
solutions, and not a one-size fits all approach from Washington.
I joined U.S. Senator
John Barrasso (R-WY) in introducing a resolution that unanimously
passed the U.S. Senate to designate November 16th as National
Rural Health Day to celebrate Wyoming's health care workers.
Thank you to all the
doctors, nurses and other health cares providers in Wyoming that
keep the rest of us healthy and at our best!
News Around Wyoming:
Wyoming's Most
Popular Comfort Food Reflects the Cowboy Spirit
Laramie Live
We all love comfort
food. Let's face it... it's right there in the name. The keyword
being "comfort", so when personal finance website, WalletHub,
released their "Most Overweight & Obese States in America"
earlier this week (Monday, November 13th, 2023), I was somewhat
surprised to see a list of "Most Popular Comfort Foods by State"
near the bottom of the study.
